Overview
This chess game has been carefully crafted to deliver a smooth and professional playing experience: • Professional Drag-and-Drop: The piece movement and drag-and-drop interface are made to feel just like chess.com, ensuring a familiar and intuitive experience for both casual and serious players. • Accurate Chess Logic: The game leverages the trusted Chess.js library, guaranteeing all rules, move validation, and game states match official chess standards. • Modern Technology: Built with React.js, the application is fast, responsive, and easy to use on any modern device. • An upcoming feature will allow you to analyze your games using Stockfish, the world's strongest chess engine. This will help you review your play and improve over time.
Challenges & Solutions
• Learning & Applying Documentation: I successfully navigated library docs, enabling effective integration of Chess.js and custom UX logic. • DOM-State Synchronization: Achieved precise drag-and-drop by syncing DOM events with React state, leading to a professional, smooth gameplay experience.
Implementation
Technology stack includes: • React.js for the user interface and user experience. • Chess.js: handles chess rules, move validation, FEN/PGN parsing, and state transitions.
